Did the old fluid swap out today for NEW, but I had used the turkey baster method to remove and refill the container. Started the car, shut it off.. Sucked out the fluid, add the new fluid.
Think I will need to do this a few times before it comes out clear.

Maintenance is good but can we expect any nice mods to the appearance or performance? I'm surprised how much corrosion there is under your hood, looking at the bracket on the PS fluid reservoir. But anyway good work so far.

iallan, this is going to be a slow progress build, from what I do/did when I purchased the car to ending.
Regarding the rust.. The previous owner lived in ottawa and, i take it he didn't park it underground or in a garage, but was outside alot. So, i think you can make sense right there as to why so much rusting, it's not too bad, but will need care to restore it back.

The other day my bro tells me i was leaking something on his driveway and i thought, ok i had just changed the tranny oil. Maybe some excess fluid trapped somewhere just dripping out. Sure enough , looked underneath and it was sweating!! WTF!!
Had to take the bolt out and noticed something was missing, the bloody washer. So off to Acura to get a washer for it..

Then, was doing an oil change. Bloody OIL DRAIN BOLT SEIZED. FUK!!! Couldn't remove that.
Had to go and get it cracked loose so I could finish the job.
The washer was even seized onto the bolt. Couldn't even remove that!! finished the job, went onto the oil filter was SEIZED on tight too..WTF!! Had to struggle with trying to crack that loose too.

and. Another shot...

Also, i'm cleaning the hood insulation mat, took it off, dusted it.
every time i open the hood, i would hear tiny particles of debris & sand trickling down the hood and coming out from under..WTF!! so i decided to remove the mat and clean it all.

How's it going. I picked up an RSX Type S Firepepper Red last weekend. The body has some dings, but no rust. Has 128k miles. Have drove this car 10 hours since i purchased it and it runs great so far. I do get a small idle surge once it warm, but only surges to about 1,200 rpms. Going to check...
